5. SECURITY

 

5.1. If the User is prompted to create a password for the Account in accordance with Clause 4.2 above, MLC shall not be liable to the User or any third-party, if anyone gets / has access to User’s Account password and/or mobile device with the Site, and the User fails to inform MLC. The Orders, Design(s), any transaction(s) done, and/or instructions sent on the Account by the unreported and unauthorized user shall be considered legitimate and shall be acted and/or relied upon by MLC. MLC accepts no liabilities and shall not be held liable for compensation against any resulting User’s loss.

5.2. The User irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to ensure that the User’s password and other Confidential Information (as that phrase is defined below) is kept confidential and to not let any unauthorized person have access to the mobile phone and/or the password.

5.3. Subject to Clause 4.2 hereinabove, the security of the password must not be endangered or compromised by choosing a password that can be easily guessed, such as 1234.

5.4. The User hereby acknowledges, agrees, and confirms that any User’s registered mobile phone/SIM shall only be used by the User and he/she shall take all necessary precautions and care to ensure that the same are not misplaced, lost or stolen. If User’s registered mobile phone/SIM is lost or stolen, User shall immediately notify his/her mobile operator to block and prevent misuse of the mobile phone/SIM. The User shall also promptly notify MLC’s Customer Service to block access to his/her Account.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, MLC shall not be held liable for any costs, charges, expenses, losses (direct, indirect or consequential), claims (including third party claims) or damages suffered or incurred by the User in connection with any unauthorized person or entity that acts as You.  If MLC receives instructions to block access to the Account, MLC will do as soon as practicable and any determinations, actions or inactions by MLC in connection with such instructions from You shall be binding and conclusive on the User.

5.5. If the User believes that his/her Account has been accessed without his knowledge or consent, or that their password has been fraudulently used, they shall contact MLC immediately to block the account.

5.6. MLC shall not be required to independently verify the User Instructions and shall be effective unless countermanded by further instructions from the User within a reasonable time frame. MLC shall have no liability whatsoever if it does not or is unable to stop or prevent the implementation of any such countermanded User Instruction.

5.7. All instructions for operating an Account and/or availing Services shall be given by the User (“User Instructions”) in the manner prescribed by MLC. The User is also responsible for the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of the payment instructions provided to MLC and/or its Affiliates and the same shall be considered to be sufficient to operate the Accounts.

5.8. The User Instructions shall be affected only after authentication of the User in accordance with the prescribed procedure for the Account.

5.11. MLC may refuse to comply with the User Instructions without assigning any reason whatsoever and shall not be under any duty to assess the prudence or otherwise of any User Instruction.  Without limitation of other rights of MLC, MLC has the right to suspend operations if, in MLC’s discretion, MLC believes that the User Instructions may expose MLC to direct or indirect loss or may require indemnification from the User before continuing to operate Account.

5.12. The User undertakes and agrees not to use or permit the use of Account and Services for any illegal or improper purposes and shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing the Accounts. The User shall be held liable for any illegal funds transfer and/or money laundering done through or in connection with the Account.

6. Services and Order Basics

6.1. Subject to the Agreement, the Site is an online portal for an authorized User to design or submit designs and place Order(s) for manufacture of Custom Parts pertaining to the Accepted Design specified by the User in the Order and MLC provides the Services to Users, including hosting and maintaining the Site.

6.2. Designs. Users shall browse the Site and use the Software pursuant to and in accordance with the Software License granted to the User under the EULA, to create a Design for Custom Parts sought to be purchased by the User. The User shall also have the option of providing MLC with a Design created using a source, other than the Software.

  • 6.2.1. Software version. If using the Software to create the Design, the User hereby agrees to upgrade to the Current Version of the Software prior to placing an Order. MLC shall not be liable for any errors caused by use of Software versions other than the Current Version.

6.3. Orders and Accepted Orders. All Designs must be submitted to MLC for acceptance and approval through the User’s completion of an Order. The User shall provide the Design for the Custom Parts of its choice, and provide the relevant delivery address and Payment Method for payment of the Custom Parts Price when placing the Order. MLC shall review the User’s Order request and terms, and the Design submitted. If the Design and corresponding Custom Parts Price within a submitted Order is accepted and approved by MLC, the corresponding Order shall then be deemed an Accepted Order, and MLC shall thereon be authorized to charge the User’s Payment Method accordingly for the Custom Parts Price. If the Design and/or Custom Parts Price is not accepted and approved by MLC, then MLC shall notify the User in writing of such rejected Order, and MLC may, without being obligated to, advise the User on the reasons for rejection / deficiencies in the Design or inadequacies in the Custom Parts Price. MLC shall not process the Payment Method, or be authorized to otherwise charge the User, for the Custom Parts Price for any Order which is not an Accepted Order.

  • 6.3.1. Order Confirmations. MLC shall send a confirmation email upon receipt of each Order to the User’s designated email address. It is the User’s responsibility to check and ensure that MLC’s e-mail address is not blocked by the User’s spam filters, and to check the User’s email program’s junk folder for the confirmation email. In the event that the User cannot find or did not receive a confirmation email against submission of an Order, it shall be the User’s responsibility to contact MLC to confirm MLC’s receipt of said Order. To avoid any double-ordering (and double-billing), the User shall only resubmit an Order to MLC, if MLC confirms in writing that the original Order was not received. Due to the intentional similarity of many orders, MLC shall not screen for duplicate Orders, nor have any responsibility or liability to do so. In the event that the User accidentally places a duplicate Order, the User shall notify MLC immediately to cancel the duplicate Order, otherwise all such Orders shall be processed for consideration, and if they are confirmed as Accepted Orders, then subsequently the User shall be charged the corresponding Custom Parts Prices at the time of shipment, or the calculated cancellations charges as advised by MLC if cancelled prior to shipment.
  • 6.3.2. Custom Parts Price Quotations. While Custom Parts Price estimates and quotations are generally accurate, they are subject to upward or downward adjustment by MLC after MLC has received the Order, but prior to confirming an Accepted Order. Custom Parts Price adjustments may be invoked to accommodate many factors, including but not limited to unusual Designs, specific customization requests made by the User, and unexpected market fluctuations affecting the availability and price of shipping and/or raw materials. If a Custom Parts Price adjustment is made, the User shall be notified via the email address supplied by the User. The Customer shall be given ten (10) business days to accept the new Custom Parts Price (all other terms will remain unchanged) or to cancel the Order. In the event that the User does not respond to the Custom Parts Price adjustment notification within the specified ten (10) business days, then MLC shall automatically cancel such Order.
  • 6.3.3. Declined Orders. Sometimes, a Custom Part will prove technically or economically impracticable to fabricate as ordered. MLC reserves the right to decline fabrication of a Custom Part and the corresponding Order, in MLC’s sole discretion. In the event of an Order being declined, the User shall not hold MLC liable for any inconvenience or losses incurred by the User for such declined Order, for any reason whatsoever. If the User orders more than one Custom Part at one time in a given Order, and MLC declines the production of fewer than all of the Custom Parts, MLC shall issue an Accepted Order on the basis of a partially accepted Order, removing the declined Custom Parts, any remaining Custom Parts shall be manufactured, and paid for, per the terms of the Accepted Order.
  • 6.3.4. Canceling/Modifying Orders. The Custom Parts provided by MLC are custom fabricated products, and not stocked items. For this reason, once an Order is confirmed as an Accepted Order, the User may cancel or modify the Accepted Order, in whole or in part, subject to payment of all cancellation/modification charges, as advised by MLC in writing as shall be calculated by MLC at the time of the request for such cancellation or modification.  After MLC accepts an order, the User is responsible for any delivery delays or charges, in addition to the original price, due to a User requested change that is agreed to in writing by MLC.
  • 6.3.5. Modifying Orders. MLC reserves the right to cancel any extant Accepted Order if manufacturing the desired Custom Parts is found to be technically or economically impractical. In the alternative, MLC may modify specifications or manufacturing processes, provided the modifications do not adversely affect the form, fit, or function of the Custom Parts, as specified in the Design of the Accepted Order.
  • 6.3.6. Custom Parts Price/Description Changes. All Prices, pictures, and descriptions are subject to change. MLC is not responsible for Price, typographical, or other errors in any Price estimate or Site description, and it reserves the right to cancel or refuse, in its sole discretion, any Orders and Accepted Orders resulting from such errors.

6.4.  Checklist. The Site provides a checklist designed to help the User minimize errors when placing an Order. The User hereby agrees to carefully review and attend to the checklist prior to placing any Order(s) and to attend to any warnings or advisories provided by the Software, if used. The User also hereby acknowledges and agrees that User understands that the checklist is not absolute and/or conclusive, and that no checklist can cover every possibility, and is to be supplemented with the User’s common sense and due care.

6.5. Shipping. MLC shall ship the Custom Parts in accordance with the details in the Accepted Order to the User.

6.6. Custom Parts Design and Manufacture:

  • 6.6.1. CAD Warnings. The CAD software utilized by the User for the Design may provide warning messages. It is recommended that the User resolve warnings prior to ordering. In the event that a problem occurs with the Custom Parts relating to a warning that the User did not resolve, the User agrees to accept those Custom Parts, regardless of whether they deviate from the User’s specifications. In the event that a problem occurs during manufacturing relating to a warning that the User did not resolve, and MLC deems it appropriate to stop manufacturing the Custom Parts, the User shall be responsible for payment of work done and all related costs actually incurred by MLC.
  • 6.6.2. Test Runs. While MLC appreciates and encourages the placement of large Orders, it also prefers the User to be satisfied with the finished Custom Parts before the User commits to large production runs of said Custom Parts. If the User is working with a new Design, or is unsure how a particular design or material will function in a specific context, MLC recommends that the User place a smaller “test run” Order first, then follow up with a larger Order once the User is comfortable that each Custom Part, as designed, is suitable for the User’s needs. However, this is merely a suggestion, and MLC shall bear no liability towards the User, for the User’s following or ignoring of such suggestion.
  • 6.6.3. Mating Parts. Similarly, if the User is designing Custom Parts that mate together, MLC recommends that the User place a small “test run” Order, to ensure that the User’s specifications translate properly into the physical objects that the User envisioned. The User is solely responsible for ensuring that the User’s Designs mate properly and allow appropriate clearances/tolerances. Placing a small initial Order is the best way to do this. Once again, however, this is merely a suggestion, and MLC shall bear no liability towards the User, for the User’s following or ignoring of such suggestion.
  • 6.6.4. Absent Specifications. The CAD software or Software, as the case may be, used by the User may include common specification parameters such as linear tolerance, flatness, surface roughness, etc.; however, no built-in list of specifications can be exhaustive to cover all possible needs. For example, there may be no built-in specifications for the angle of grain in a brush finish, the cleanliness of surfaces, weight, and so on ad infinitum. It is the User’s responsibility to provide any necessary or desired specifications as special text instructions, and the User shall not have the right to reject any Custom Parts on the basis of specifications that were not explicitly stated in the corresponding Order and Accepted Order.
  • 6.6.5. Partners and Subcontracting.  In addition to its in-house manufacturing facilities, MLC maintains a vendor manufacturing program consisting of a network of third party manufacturers (for purposes herein, each hereinafter referred to as a “Partner”) capable of performing manufacturing services on MLC’s behalf in order to offer our customers greater efficiencies, the best pricing and/or  quality of manufacturing services. When a customer uploads their Designs for an Order, MLC will either manufacture, or subcontract with one of MLC’s Partners to have manufactured the parts, assemblies or items to be delivered pursuant to the Order.  The User acknowledges and agrees that MLC may subcontract, assign or otherwise delegate any Order for Custom Parts to any Partner. As such, the User acknowledges and agrees that MLC may share the User’s Designs with any Partner in order to process and manufacture the Order. The User will not have any obligation to pay any Partner directly, unless otherwise agreed.
  • 6.6.6. Material Properties & Tolerances. All Custom Parts are subject variations concerning material properties (including but not limited to color, dimension, flatness, thickness, weight, straightness, sections, metal, alloy or plastic composition, texture, strength, heat resistance, electrical resistivity, melting point, elasticity, coefficient of expansion, density, weldability and chemical reactivity) and the User hereby acknowledges and accepts such potential variations, per the normal ranges of domestic and international suppliers. Measurement specifications shall be governed generally by ASME Y14.5-2018 and/or the Specifications section of the online help (currently located at https://www.emachineshop.com/specifications/). The material properties information presented by the Software for each material type and the tabular information presented in the Software’s “Material”, “Finish”, and other dialogs are to be taken as general guides, and not as definitive specifications. This information is neither intended nor guaranteed to be comprehensive, and may not be error-free or apply specifically to your intended application of the Custom Parts. If specific Material Properties or design elements are desired, the User must make independent verification from another source, prior to submitting an Order. As always, a small “test run” Order is advised, followed by a larger “full-scale” Order, if the User is satisfied by the Custom Parts from the “test run” and all appropriate tolerances are specified. The User hereby accepts that errors in subtractive machining processes may occasionally be corrected by additive processes. The User further hereby acknowledges and agrees that MLC makes no warranties, nor any guarantees that the Custom Parts shall be fit or safe for use for a particular purpose, and the User shall be solely responsible to test and independently verify and ensure that the relevant Custom Parts and the material composition and properties of those Custom Parts are fit and safe for a particular purpose, and the User shall hereby indemnify and hold harmless MLC from any losses, damages, claims, expenses, costs, fines, penalties and levies arising out of or in connection with any deviations in the material composition of the Custom Parts and/or the Custom Part’s fitness and/or safety (or a lack thereof) for any purpose, save for that liability, from which MLC cannot be excluded from under the applicable law.
  • 6.6.7. Special Instructions. For Users using the Software, the “Comments to the Machinist” feature allows the User to provide MLC with specific, detailed instructions to better help the User to customize the Designs submitted to MLC for fabrication. Additionally, for Designs developed without using the Software, the User may also provide additional, written instructions, as needed, in order to carry out the Design in the Order. MLC shall endeavor to interpret the User’s instructions, but MLC must rely upon the User to be as clear and precise as possible, and MLC shall not be responsible for material or fabrication decisions resulting from errors, omissions, or ambiguities in the User’s instructions.
  • 6.6.8. General Safety Considerations. The User hereby acknowledges that the Custom Parts ordered from MLC were not designed by MLC, nor does MLC have any control over their Design, or their use or misuse once they have been delivered. It is the User’s sole responsibility to create a functional, safe design, and to provide adequate safety devices and equipment to safeguard any end user and other persons and property from harm stemming from any particular use, operation, or setup, and to adequately conform to all International, Federal, State, and Local laws, rules, regulations, safety standards, and industry safety standards. Additionally, it is the User’s responsibility to fully inspect all Custom Parts for Design conformity, variation in material selection or composition, defects in fabrication, defects in material uniformity or composition or strength, and all other matters that could affect safety or performance. MLC shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for the consequences of, or the results obtained through, the use or application of the Software, the submitted Designs, and/or the Custom Parts, including but not limited to their use with or incorporation into weapons or other inherently dangerous instrumentalities.

The User’s written notice must set forth with particularity the manner in which the User believes that the delivered Custom Parts do not comply with the Accepted Order or this Agreement.

  • 6.7.4. Any delivery time or date given by MLC to the User is an estimate only. The User must still accept delivery of the Custom Parts, even if late, and MLC shall not be liable for any loss or damage incurred by the User as a result of the delivery being late.

If, however, the actual quantity shipped is less than the minimum indicated, the User shall be charged in proportion to the quantity actually shipped.
  • 6.7.9. Free Shipping Policy. eMachineShop’s free shipping offer is automatically applied to orders shipped within the contiguous United States.

THIS WARRANTY DISCLAIMER AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

Some jurisdictions do not allow for all of the foregoing exclusions and limitations, so to that extent, some or all of these limitations and exclusions may not apply to the User.

17. INDEMNIFICATION

 

17.1. The User shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MLC, our Affiliates, and our respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, losses, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all related costs and expenses) arising from or relating to any claim, suit, proceeding, demand, or action brought by the User, a third party, or another User against an Indemnified Party relating to: use of the Site and the Services by User, including any payment obligations incurred through use of the Services; the User’s failure to comply with the Agreement; User’s failure to comply with applicable law(s) and/or regulation(s); User’s negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud; use of Custom Parts by User or any end-user; defamation, libel, violation of privacy rights, unfair competition, or infringement of Intellectual Property Rights or allegations thereof to the extent caused by the User.

18. RELEASE AND WAIVER

 

18.1 The User acknowledges and agrees that the Custom Parts and their manufacture are based on specifications provided by the User. Accordingly, the User agrees that under no circumstance will MLC be liable for any damage or liability resulting from any Custom Part, including any Custom Part defect resulting from the manufacture of a Custom Part. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the User hereby releases and waives any and all claims against MLC and its affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, and consultants and their successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death and property damage, that is either directly or indirectly related to or arises from the Custom Part(s). If the User is a California resident, the User hereby waives California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor”.

19. COMMUNICATIONS FROM USER TO MLC

All notices to MLC or our Affiliates intended to have a legal effect must be in writing and delivered either (a) in person; (b) by a means evidenced by a delivery receipt, to the following address: 31 Industrial Ave., Mahwah, NJ 07430 ; or (c) in writing via email to “legal at miclog.com” (replace “at” with @), and shall be deemed effective upon receipt by MLC.

20. GENERAL PROVISIONS

20.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all other click through agreements the User may enter into, which are expressly incorporated herein, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the User and MLC relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and cancels and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements, representations, warranties, and other communications between the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof and thereof. The section headings in the Agreement are included for ease of reference only and have no binding effect. Even though MLC has drafted the Agreement, the User represents that they had ample time to review and decide whether to agree to the Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation of the Agreement arises, no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring the Parties because of the authorship of any provision of the Agreement. MLC’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision.

20.2. Modifications. No modification or amendment to the Agreement shall be binding upon MLC unless in a written instrument signed by a duly authorized representative of MLC. For the purposes of this subsection, a written instrument will expressly exclude electronic communications, such as email and electronic notices, but will include facsimiles. MLC reserves the right at any time to modify, edit, delete, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently this Agreement or any portion thereof with or without notice.  MLC is not liable to the User or to any third party for any such modification, editing, deletion, suspension or discontinuance of this Agreement.

20.3. No Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the failure or delay of either Party to exercise or enforce any right or claim does not constitute a waiver of such right or claim and will in no way affect that Party’s right to later enforce or exercise it, unless such Party issues an express written waiver, signed by a duly authorized representative of such Party.

20.4. Assignability. User may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, for any reason whatsoever. Any attempted assignment or transfer of this Agreement by the User in violation of this subsection will be null and void. MLC may assign this Agreement or subcontract all or any portion of the fabrication of Custom Parts without notice to or consent of User.

20.5. Severability. If and to the extent any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable law, such provision or such portion thereof will be ineffective as to the jurisdiction in which it is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability and will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to give the maximum effect to the intent of the Parties. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of such provision in that jurisdiction will not in any way affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or of any other provision in any jurisdiction.

20.6. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be responsible for the failure to perform or any delay in performance of any obligation hereunder due to events including but not limited to labor disturbances, accidents, fires, floods, public health emergencies, telecommunications or Internet failures, strikes, wars, riots, rebellions, blockades, acts of government, governmental requirements and regulations or restrictions imposed by law or any other similar conditions beyond the reasonable control of such party. The time for performance of such Party shall be extended by the period of such delay. Irrespective of any extension of time, if an event of Force Majeure occurs and its effect continues for a period of 30 days, either Party shall have the right to give to the other a notice of termination with immediate effect.
